X doesn't give you any way to save a video from your feed. Here's how to pull the file directly, plus how to handle those "GIFs" that aren't actually GIFs.

Facebook doesn't give you a native way to save videos you've posted — here's how to pull the original MP4 in full quality, plus what won't work (private posts, deleted content) and why.

Try to find a "Download" button on a Facebook video you posted yourself. There isn't one. You can share it, embed it, boost it, cry about it in the comments, but getting the actual file back off the platform isn't something Facebook builds into the app. Which is a weird thing to sit with once it clicks. You shot the footage. You edited it. You uploaded it. And somehow, the moment it becomes a post, Facebook acts like you're just another viewer with a really good memory of what you made.
